Gold End Table

I mentioned in this post that we got rid of our old coffee table and end table to help babyproof the living room. I wanted to sell the two together since they were a set. I knew it would be easy enough to find a simple end table in my thrifting adventures. I found this end table at Goodwill for $7, can't beat that. It had a glass top which was exactly what I was looking for and overall it was in great shape, minus the beat up chrome finish. Nothing a little spraypaint can't fix. These pictures are a little dark, it's been a little cold and dreary here lately.

I gave it a quick coat of gold spraypaint (Rustoleum Gold Metallic) and it was good as new. It's actually a little smaller than the previous table and works a little better with the space.

p.s.-Hope everyone has a safe halloween! I'll be sharing a DIY costume I made for my daughter after we get some pictures tonight.

I've been looking through your posts and I love how creative you are with spray paint! I also saw the ceramic elephant you painted green--when you spray paint, do you always use primer first, or just the color directly?
